ADVERSE REACTIONS
In the unlikely event that any of the following occurs, advise patient to stop using the
XFT-2001D immediately and consult his/her physician:
– Signs of significant irritation or pressure sores where the FES cuff contacts the skin
– A significant increase in muscle spasticity
– A feeling of heart related stress during stimulation
– Swelling of the knee, leg, ankle or foot
– Any other unanticipated reaction
Skin irritations and burns have been reported with the use of powered muscle stimulators.
Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes have been reported with the use of surface functional
electrical stimulation devices. Do not leave the electrodes in place for long periods of time without
checking or cleaning the skin underneath them. It is normal to observe slightly reddened areas under
the electrode placement. However, the redness should disappear within an hour. Signs of irritation
are maintained redness, small pimple-like lesions or blisters. DO NOT continue stimution over
irritated skin.
Notify the medical doctor if these conditions persist and discontinue the use of the XFT-2001D until
the problem is solved.
Cautions
ALWAYS use the XFT-2001D under specific instruction of a qualified clinician.
NEVER use the XFT-2001D in a situation where an unexpected or unusual stimulus may occur,
such as driving or operating motorized equipment.
NEVER use the XFT-2001D unit with frayed or broken leads.
ALWAYS handle the unit carefully. DO NOT expose the unit to water, excessive heat or vibration.
DO NOT place electrodes anywhere other than below the knee on the leg for which the XFT-2001D
is prescribed.
AVOID dropping the XFT-2001D. Although robustly designed, damage may occur that could cause
the unit to malfunction.
DONOTopentheunit.TheXFT-2001Dhasnouserorclinician serviceable parts inside the control
module enclosure.
TURN OFF the unit if sitting for an extended period of time.
The stimulator should not be used while operating potentially dangerous equipment such as
automobiles, power lawn mowers or large machinery. Abrupt changes in stimulation level could
create a hazard.
The XFT-2001D should not be worn or used while sleeping or bathing.
The use of heat or cold producing devices such as electric blankets, heating pads or ice
packs may affect the electrodes or the person's circulation and increase the risk of injury.
A medical doctor and clinician should be consulted before using with XFT-2001D.
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions for electromagnetic compatibility.
This product conforms to standards IEC60601-1-2 of EMC.

Directions for Use
Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the Nerve and Muscle Stimulator
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Nerve and Muscle Stimulator
as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
This device can be used under the environment that radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
User should maintain a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment to prevent electromagnetic interference. Following recommended distance is
calculated according to the maximum output power of the communication equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance “d” in meters can be estimated using the equation applicable to the
frequency of transmitter, where “P” is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter
in watts according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note1: At 80M and 800MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and refection from structures, objects and people.
